The Winn Building is a new, purpose built facility featuring an array of state of the art amenities, including multiple sport and fitness suites, function rooms, dining facilities and classrooms.

The opening of the Winn Building, named in recognition of the college’s greatest living benefactor, signals the completion of Project 150 at the site, which saw a £33 million investment in the campus to celebrate the school’s 150th anniversary.

Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd is a leading manufacturer of corrosion prevention systems for the long term protection of above and below ground pipelines and steel structures.

Company chairman David Winn is only the third chairman in the company’s 136-year history and has been with the company for more than 53 years.
